Yes, I'm sure you've all been asking the same question I've been asking myself: "What the #$&*'s going on with the house?!"

Well, apparently the Big Bloke has some "really important" project for the Science Centre, which has been keeping him indoors and preoccupied for weeks. It has to be finished by 1st December, and then things will be back to normal.

And can I just say it won't be a moment too soon - I'm fed up with it! I hardly ever see him these days, except for five minutes at brekkie time when he tosses me my barley. Even then I can tell his mind's elsewhere, lost in electronics world ...

I can't wait to have him out here with me again, spending all day together in the fresh air, grunting at each other - him drilling, me digging rocks. Roll on December.

Oh yeah, in the meantime here's one of my baby photos to keep you entertained. Cute wasn't I? Still am of course ...
